## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great board.... But,
*by B***R on August 6, 2014*

This is an awesome board. Plenty of room for expansion boards. Runs cool, even overclocked to 4GHz.Some gripes though.1. At this price point there should have been dual nics.2. ASMedia controller SATA ports 7-10 can not be made hot-swap. Inconvenient when you have removable drive trays.3. Don't use ASMedia driver supplied. Use Microsoft standard SATA driver.4. WiFi and Bluetooth should be left to third party vendors, lowering the motherboard price.Remember if these go bad, the entire board has to be RMA'd.I don't use Bluetooth and my router has WiFi.I have no way of knowing if these included devices even work.

### ⭐ Shameful Quality Control on their Top OC board..
*by M***M on October 8, 2015*

Bad Quality Control for a "military spec" board (people died!). Bad RMA (5-15 days turnaround eventhough they will send you a refurbished one anyway). Buy it and it's faulty, stuck with it...not worth the ridiculous price tag, plus RMA fees, plus time without a working computer if the one that arrives it doesn't work.

### ⭐⭐ Working through problems, but support is engaged.
*by R***Y on March 17, 2015*

After about 5 weeks of use certain applications stopped running or would not launch, specifically all 3D games and some web applications, then it started to crash often. I've contacted MSI tech support and they answer the phone quickly and engage, however after two weeks of debugging, the issue is still not resolved. This was initial diagnosed as a graphics card issue, but I recently had a fail after the graphics card was removed while using the onboard video, so this may be a motherboard failure after all.I'm a bit grumpy that this isn't resolved after spending a lot of money on my new rig, but sometimes this happens and an early life fail typically is fairly low, but I just got some bad luck. Unfortunately, this was outside the windows of Amazon returns so I'm working through MSI support which does not have a cross ship program or you may need to wait for stock to ship. I will update this review after I get my rig working with the latest status. Depending on how things go, I'll upgrade the stars to 4 or 5.
